Veronica of Milan
Blessed Veronica of Milan (c. 1445 – 13 January 1497) was an Italian nun in the Augustinian Order. She was reputed to have received frequent visions of the Virgin Mary, and her local ''cultus'' was confirmed by Pope Leo X in 1517.
==Life==
Veronica grew up in the small town of Binasco, Italy, not far from Milan. She and her family were poor and she worked with her mother and father, doing chores and in the fields. Her parents set their daughter on the path to Christian virtues, as it was said that her father was a scrupulously honest man, never selling a horse without first disclosing its faults or imperfections to the buyer. As she developed a desire for saintliness and perfection, she became tired of the joking and songs of her companions, even hiding her head and weeping as she worked.
Having no formal education, she attempted, unsuccessfully, to teach herself to read.〔 While making this effort one night, it is said that the Virgin Mary appeared to Veronica, telling her that while some of her pursuits were necessary, her reading was not.〔 Instead, the Virgin taught her in the form of three mystical letters:
Veronica became accustomed to nearly constant apparitions and religious ecstasies. She saw scenes from the life of Christ, yet these never interrupted her work.〔 She joined an Augustinian lay order at the convent of Saint Martha in Milan at the age of 22.〔 This community was very poor; Veronica's job was to beg in the streets of the city for food.〔 After three years into her vocation as a nun she became racked with secret bodily pains, but was notably patient and obedient to her superiors.〔 She received a vision of Christ in 1494, and was given a message for Pope Alexander VI, and traveled to Rome to deliver it.〔 After a six-month illness, Veronica died on the date she had predicted, 13 January 1497.〔
